You won't have to worry about it because they classify Jeeps as wagons and they don't have to have any mud flaps.

Well, not entirely true... The newbie officers, usually Highway Patrol, will give you a repair ticket...

Then you have to show up to court with your title and registration, show it to the judge, and then it will be dismissed...

Been there, done that...

28-958.01. Rear fender splash guards

A. A person shall not operate a truck, trailer, semitrailer or bus on a highway unless the vehicle is equipped with rear fender splash guards that comply with the specifications provided in this section.

B. The splash guards:

1. Shall be attached in a manner that prevents the splashing of mud or water on the windshield of other motor vehicles.

2. Shall extend to a length of not more than eight inches from the ground.

3. Shall be wide enough to cover the full tread or treads of the tires being protected.

4. Shall be installed close enough to the tread surface of the tire or wheel to control the side throw of the bulk of the thrown road surface material.

5. May be constructed of a flexible rubberized material.

6. Shall be attached in a manner that, regardless of movement either in the splash guards or the vehicle, the splash guards retain their general parallel relationship to the tread surface of the tire or wheel under all ordinary operating conditions.

C. This section does not apply to:

1. A vehicle commonly known as a pickup truck with a manufacturer's rating of three-quarter ton or less, except that this section applies if the pickup truck has been modified from the original bumper height design to raise the center of gravity of the pickup truck.

2. A truck tractor or converter dolly when used in combination with another vehicle.

3. A single axle trailer with fenders wide enough to cover the full tread or treads of the tires being protected and that extend to a length of not more than fourteen inches from the ground.



as mentioned, only pickups. so camanche owners will need them, but it looks like you have a wrangler.

I ran flareless for 3 months sporting 37's and nenever had a issue. I did here while at EJS 2007 that in Moab you will be sited. Still I had no issues as I am sure they were chasing around the illegal rockbuggies with new Plates running red lights!

thats a relief i was always kinda worried when i shaw a cop. especially in gilbert they really have not that much going on. and since im still a young gun at 20 they always look twice at the younger people, or so it seems. im not saying anyones old or anything like that :)

I have once and by highway patrol on the way to flag when he started writing I asked what vehicles it pertained to and he said all trucks, so when he gave my registration back I asked while grinning what does 4DSW mean under vehicle type, then I told him what it meant and he crumbled the ticket and said drive safe.
